THE COLONIAL HISTORY 



OF THE 



HEYWARD FAMILY 



OF 



SOUTH CAROLINA, 1670-1770 



TOGETHER WITH 



AN ABBREVIATED GENEALOGY, 1770-1870 



BY 

JAMES BARNWELL HEVWARD 



Nashville, Tenn. 

MCQUIDDY PRINTING COMPANY 

1907 






PREFACE. 



No apology is offered for this work, for without pride of an- 
cestry posterity is an accident. 

Those who may not emulate ancestors are poor creatures, 
and those who contenm such aspirations lack the essence of 
" that virtue which makes all men true and leal, all women 
pure. ' ' 



FOREWORD. 



The uncertainty of my ability ever to publish the elaborate 
genealogical record of the Heyward family, which I have at 
great pains almost finished compiling, induces me to forthwith 
furnish the family with this epitome of it. 

Most of the genealogical information relates to the history 
of the three earliest, or, more strictly speaking, Colonial, gen- 
erations in Carolina, about whom there has hitherto been more 
by way of tradition than the official record of documents. 

Whilst traditions are not necessarily nursery tales, very 
little is of much value that cannot be more or less verified 
by some public record; therefore be it noted that whoever 
reads what is herein stated will also have the satisfaction of 
learning the place, volume, and page of public record when 
confirmation is to be had. 

Then follows a concise abbreviated birth brief of the fourth 
generation in Carolina from which emanated the four great 
branches in the fifth generation, which might be called the 
*' Revolutionary generation." 

Lastly follows a condensed, but lucid, explanation as to 
how living descendants can trace their lineage back through 
any one of the said four stems to the pioneer, as well as learn- 
ing their respective consanguinity. 



THE NAME. 



The pioneer of the family sj^elliiig their name HEY WAR I) 
in America was amongst the earliest of those enterprising- 
English colonists who settled on the Ashley River in Carolina 
during that period known as the " Proprietary Government 
of the Carolinas. "' 

The precise date of his arrival is not established, but his 
will indicates that he came from Derby, England. Without 
dealing too much in surmise, it may be safely assumed that 
the name spelled HEY WARD is easily to be found for several 
centuries in use within a certain circuit around where the 
Carolina pioneer said in his will that his brother, Thomas, 
lived, as a certain instrument of public record takes the name 
as sj)elled by the pioneer as far back as A.D. 15()0 — to wit: 
The Abbot and Convent of Keynsham, in the county of Som- 
erset, made a grant by indenture reciting: " Whereas one Ed- 
mund L. holds and occupies certain tenements with lands, 
meadows, . . . in Batwell for the term of his life, etc.; the said 
Abbot and Convent in consideration of twenty pounds in the 
name of a fine have granted and by these presents do demise 
to the said Thomas Heyward the remainder in said tenement." 
Dyer's Reports, Vol. 1, p. 46, reign of Henry VIII. 

Again, we find a deed in which " Sir Rowland Heyward, 
knight, seized in fee of the meadows of Dodderrington and 
Wenlock, alias Round Acton and Wenlock, in the county of 
Salop, bargains, sells, etc." Coke's Reports, Vol. 1, p. 524. 

So much of a great deal more that the name spelled HEY- 
WARD was the way that the ancestors of the Carolina pio- 
neer spelled their name 



'' That man lives happily on a little who can view with pleas- 
ure the old-fashioned salt cellar on his frugal board ; neither anx- 
iety nor sordid avarice robs him of gentle sleep." 



Generation I. 



I. DANIEL HEYWARD, horn, unknown; died September 
— , 1684. 

He left no record as to who his wife was. 
They had issue. 

2. Daniel Hey ward, b. Aug. 10, 1673; d. before 1684. 

3. Thomas Hey ward. b. Aug. 19, 1673; d. 1699. 

m. Margaret Wright — issue. 

4. Elizabeth Heyward, b. Oct. 18, 1676; d. before 1684. 

5. Samuel Heyward, b. Sept. 20, 1678; d. before 1690. 

A memorandum handed down to the compiler in the hand- 
writing of and signed by Capt. Nathaniel Heyward, No. 21 
of this record, is the authority for the above birth brief, and 
reads as follows: '' In a curious old book published in 1532, 
called 'An Exposition of the Creed,' by John Smith, it ap- 
pears that Daniel Heyward wrote his name in 1672, and by his 
memorandum they had two sons born 19th of August, 1673, 
Daniel and Thomas; also a daughter, Elizabeth, born October 
18, 1676; also another son, Samuel, born September 20, 1678.'- 

The will of Daniel Heyward is to be found recorded in Vol- 
ume of Wills, 1672-1692, p. 217, in the office of the South Car- 
olina Historical Commission at Columbia, S. C, and reads as 
follows: 

In the name of God, Amen, I, Daniel Haward of Charlestowne 
in said Province of Carolina being weak in body but sound in 
mind doe make this my last Will and Testament in form and 
manner as followeth; Imp. My Will is that my whole Estate, 



Generation I. 



money, goods, chattels, all whatsoever and wheresoever it is, be 
equally divided and distributed between my two sons, Thomas 
Haward and Samuel Haward and that this distribution be made 
when my son Samuel arrives at the age of twenty years. 

In the meantime all my Estate is to be left together and im- 
proved and both my said children be maintained upon it — And 
my Will is that if either of my said sons shall die before the 
time appointed for the division of my Estate that the whole 
Estate shall entirely be given to him that survives. 

Finally, my Will is that Mr. John Gwin of Charlestowne and 
Mr. William White neare Charlestowne together with my deare 
brother Thomas Haward of Little Eaton neare Derby in Eng- 
land be joynt executors of this my last Will and Testament; and 
I do Will and earnestly desire that my loveing and Trusty Ex- 
ecutors Mr. Gwin and Mr. White do their endeavor to sell my 
goods and chattels in Carolina and send the produce thereof 
with my above said children as soon as may be into England 
to my above named brother, whom I entreat to be careful in the 
education of my children and in the improvement of my Estate 
for them. 

In witness thereof I unto this my last Will and Testament 
have put my Hand and Seale this first day of October A. D. 1684. 
Signed, sealed and delivered 
in the presence and sight of 
Isaac Rowedon.

September 8, 1684. 

Memo; the day and year above mentioned and before me came 
Isaac Rowedon and Philip Rowland and made oath upon the 
Holy Evangelist that they did see the within named Daniel 
Haward sign, seal and publicly declare the within written to be 
his last Will and Testament and that at the making thereof was 
of sound mind and memory to the best of their knowledge — 
likewise George Pawley according to the form of his profession 
did declare the same. Joseph West. 

Recorded Sept. 14, 1684.

Generation I. 



Note. — There can be no question as to the date, " first day 
of October," in the foregoing will being error of scribe for 
that of September, as the attestation to the preceding will re- 
corded in the same book bears date of September 7, 1684, and 
recorded on the 13th. 

Query: Was the above the will of Daniel HeywardI 

Be it noted tliat the spelling of any name in the older rec- 
ords means little. They are copies of instruments hard them- 
selves to be deciphered, which copies were made by clerks so 
careless that the names Howard, Haward, and Hay ward, all 
referring to one person, appear in the same instrument of 
writing, whilst the contents of the paper substantiate the 
name intended was that of Heyward. 

Daniel Heyward did not write his own will, and his signa- 
ture is by mark, not autograph, so the scribe spelled the name 
Haward; nevertheless, continuing links substantiate said 
will to be that of Daniel Heyward. That he could write is 
established by the memorandum handed down by Capt. Na- 
thaniel Heyward, No. 21 of this record, so it may be presumed 
that he was on his deathbed and unable to write. 

Whether or not he was a man of much means, his will does 
not establish, but he certainly had enough, and intended to 
use whatever was necessary toward the education of his sons, 
])ossibly u])on the principle: " Crafty men contemn studies, 
simple men admire them, and wise men use them."

Generation II. 



^ 3. THOMAS HEYWARD (Daniel), bom August 19, 1673; 
died 1()!)1); ui. Margaret Wright. 

They had issue. 

6. Thomas Heyward, b. 1699: d. March 11, 1737. 
m. Hester Taylor — issue. 

Our next step is to identify Thomas (No. 3) as the sou of 
Daniel Heyward, the pioneer, to which end is the record of 
letters of guardianship for him. Vide Volume of Wills, 1672- 
1692, p. -1:2-1-, reading as follows: 

Carolina S. 

James Colleton Esqr. Landgrave and Governor of the part of 
the Province of Carolina that lies from Cape Fear River South 
and West; 

To Thomas Bolton, Merchant; and James Stanyarne, Tanner; 

For the better preservation and just disposition of the Estate 
belonging to Thomas Haward the orphan of Daniel Haward late 
of this province, Deceased; out of the confidence I have and do 
repose in the integrity and uprightness of ye the said Thomas 
Bolton and James Stanyarne, upon the petition of the said or- 
phan, the guardianship as well as of the said orphan as of all and 
singular the Estate of the said orphan I do commit; And you 
the said Thomas Bolton and James Stanyarne Administrators 
of all and singular the goods and chattels, rights and credits of 
the Deceased, together with the Will annexed, I do make and 
ordain — Charging you that a full and faithful inventory of all 
and every the said Estate, truly and faithfully appraised by 
three sufficient freeholders upon their oaths, you do make and 



10 



Generation II. 



the same return under their hands into the Secretary's Office 
within ninety days next after the date hereof — And that you 
do well and truly satisfy and pay all and every the Deceased's 
debts to the Lords Proprietors and all other persons whatsoever, 
as Guardians and Administrators ought to do — And that you do 
render an account of the said Guardianship and Administrator- 
ship whensoever you shall be thereunto loyally required— And 
also that you at all times well and truly save harmless the Lords 
Proprietors, me and all officers and ministers against all persons 
by reason of the said Guardianship and Administratorship. 

Given under my Hand and Seal at Arms at Charlestowne ye 
day of A. D. lfi9U. James Collkton. 

On p. 90, V^oJ. l()*)t)-170o, will be found another item of 
identification of Tliomas Heyward (No. 3), as follows: 

To ALL People to whom these Presents shall come to be seen, 
heard or read; I, William White of the County of Berkley of Car- 
olina, Planter, send greeting; Whereas a certain decree under 
the Hand and Seal of the Rt. Hon. Seth Sothel, Esq. of the Prov- 
ince of Carolina dated .Jan. 30, 1690-1 was issued out of the Hon. 
Court of Chancery for this part of said Province ordering and 
requiring me the said William White the Surviving Executor 
hereof of the last Will and Testament of Daniel Haward late 
of the said Province, Deceased, together with Sarah Gwin widow, 
and relict of ,Tohn Gwin, Deceased, late one of the other Execu- 
tors of the said last Will and Testament, to pay and deliver to 
Thomas Bolton. Merchant; and .James Stanyarne, Tanner; 
Guardians of Thomas Hey ward orphan of the said Daniel Hey- 
ward to the use of the said orphan Eighty one pounds, six shil- 
lings and six pence sterling — Together with a parcel of goods be- 
longing to the said orphan to the value of Nineteen pounds, four 
shillings and nine pence as shall in and by the said Decree 
more fully appears, et<;., etc. William White. 

July 2, 1691.

Generation II. 



Memo. The 2nd day of July 1692, the within named William 
White, full, quiet and peaceable seizen and possession of the 
within bargained premises did have and take — and the like full, 
quiet and peaceable seizen and possession so had and taken, Did 
there give and deliver to the within named Thomas Bolton and 
James Stanyarne according to the tenor and effect of the within 
Deed in the presence of 
Dan Courtis. 
Findla Martin. 
J. Hobson. 

Memo. This tenth day of Nov. A. D. 1694 personally appeared 
before me Mr. Daniel Courtis and Mr. Findla Martin and being 
duly sworn saith that they did see the above named William 
White Sign and Seal and as his act and deed deliver the above 
Bill of Sale to the use therein mentioned. William Siniith. 

The foregoing instruments covering a period from 1684 to 
1694 indicate that Daniel Heyward, the ])ioneer, either did 
not die as he expected soon after the execution of his will, 
but lived as late as 1690, when administrators are directed 
to marshal his estate, pay his debts, etc., or what is more 
probable — viz., that he did die soon after making his will, 
but his executors had so failed to carry into effect the intent 
of said will, that when Thomas, the orphan, reached the age 
of seventeen years, he demanded investigation, resulting in the 
ap])ointment of guardians for himself, who were also made 
administrators of the estate of his father, and that these ad- 
ministrators brought about the accounting aforesaid by the 
executors. 

Having identified Thomas Heyward (No. 3) as the only sur- 
viving son of Daniel Heyward, the pioneer, to proceed: 

There is no parish record of his marriage — none existed at 
that early date of the province, neither can it be substanti- 
ated that his wife was born Margaret Wright. Old scraps 



.12 



Generation II, 



of writing, however (i'ound by the writer), among the papers 
left by her grandson, (^ol. Daniel Heyward, No. 7 of this rec- 
ord, leave little doubt that she was born a Wright; and if she 
was, then she was probably the daughter of John Wright, 
one of the early commissioners for Indians and many times 
a member of the Assembly of Carolina. 

That the wife of Thomas Heyward (No. 3) was Margaret 
( Wright f), and not Hester Taylor, as some, family records 
state, the following instrument. Vol. 1696-1703, of miscellane- 
ous records at Columbia, S. C, establishes: 

Carolina S. - ■ 

This indenture made this eighteenth day of November, A. D. 
1700 between Margaret Heyward of Charlestowne in tlie said 
Province on tlie one part and William Elliott of Berkley County 
in said Province, bricklayer; and Joseph Keys of the said Towne 
and Province aforesaid on the other part, Witnesseth That where- 
as Thomas Hayward late of the Towne and Province aforesaid, 
Deceased, and Husband to the said Margaret was seized in his 
demesne as of fee and in one quarter part of a Towne lot 
(No. 26) with the appurtenances thereunto belonging; and so be- 
ing seized, by his last Will and Testament in writing bearing 
date the 28th day of September A. D. 1C99 did among other 
things devise, give and bequeath the said quarter part of said 
Towne lot and appurtenances to the said Margaret in manner 
and form and in these words following, viz; " Item, I give, 
grant and bequeath to my Deare and Beloved Wife Margaret 
Hayward all my worldly Estate real and personal to her, her 
heirs and assigns forever." As in and by said last Will and 
Testament tiled in the Secretary's Office doth appear — Now these 
Presents Witness that for said Margaret Hayward in part per- 
formance of a certain agreement had and made between the 
said Margaret and one Joseph Keys of the Towne and Province 
aforesaid, upon a marriage by the Grace of God to be had and 
solemnized between the said Joseph Keys and the said Margaret, 
and for the natural love and affection which she beareth to 
Thomas Hayward her son by Thomas Hayward above mentioned 



13 



Generation II. 



and for divers other good causes, To have and to Hold said 
quarter-part of said Towne lot unto the said Y/illiam Elliott and 
Joseph Keys their heirs, etc., etc. her 

Margaret Heywahd. 
mark 
Witnesses 

Lewis Pasquereau. 
Simon Valentyne. 
Henry Wigington. 

So mueli for the genealogy established by aforesaid trust 
deed and marriage settlement, the instrument going on to 
provide: (1) That the property was to be held in trust for 
said Margaret until her son, Thomas Heyward, attained his 
majority, at which time it was to be delivered to lier son, 
Thomas Heyward; (2) in the event her son died before he was 
of age, the property was to return to Margaret herself, to be 
disposed of as she chose; (.■)) in the event Tliomas outlived 
his mother, yet died under age, tlien the property was to pass 
to John Keys, son of said Joseph Keys. Following the above 
is a second similar instrument relating to personalty. 

Anotlier item of interest relating to Thomas Heyward (No. 
3), son of Daniel, is the following record in the Journals of the 
House of Commons at Charles Town, dated November 16, 
1700, as follows: 

Whereas by order of Assembly bearing date 19th day of Nov. 
1698 James Risbee Bsqr. was to pay to Thomas Hayward then Pow- 
der Receiver, One Hundred and Three pounds of clean serviceable 
gun powder being so much due to the public from said James 
Risbee for powder he received for the public — And the said 
Thomas Hayward dying before the powder was delivered, etc., 
etc. 

Assented to by the Upper House. James Moore. 



14 



Generation II. 



Now the office of Powder Receiver was one of the most im- 
portant posts under the Proprietary Grovernment, as powder 
was a commodity of as mucli consequence as money. 

So then Tliomas Hey ward, son of the pioneer, was an offi- 
cial of tlie Proprietary Government, and did leave a will, 
dated September 28, 1691). Furthermore, he did leave a son 
born either just before or, more pro])ably, just after his death, 
who was called Thomas. 

Margaret, his widow, married, secondly, Joseph Keys, and 
they seem to have had issue, as later records show that let- 
ters of guardianship were issued to Joseph AYragg for ''Jane, 
infant daughter of Joseph Keys;" and later still St. Philip's 
Parish register records the marriage of Jane Keys to John 
Wright, so that those who " build castles " may ask: Did Jane 
marry her cousin in the son of her mother's brother, "John 
Wright? "

Generation III. 

1—3. 

6. CAPT. THOMAS HEYWARD (Thomas ^ Daniel M was 
Iborn , 1699, and died March 11, 1737. 

He married, June 1, 1719, Hester Taylor, born , 

and died November 25, 1757, daughter of John Taylor, Esq., 
of St. Andrew's Parish, S. C, and his wife, Esther. He (Tay- 
lor) left a will, dated January 20, 1712, in which he recites 
wife Esther, daughter Esther, and sons John, James, and 
Christopher. 

Capt. Thomas Heyward and Hester Taylor had issue: 

7. Daniel Heyward, b. July 20, 1720. 

m. 1st. Mary Miles — issue. 

m. 2nd. Elizabeth Gignilliat — issue. 

m. 3rd. Elizabeth Simons — issue.

died unmarried, leaving will. 

FooTNOTK. — The christening names of James and Nathaniel continuously retained in the Hey- 
ward family were Taylor family names. There was a Nathaniel Taylor of the same generation 
and locality as that of John Taylor, father of our Hester.

Generation III. 



Capt. Tlioiuas Hey ward left a will as follows:

Witnesses. Thomas Heyward. 

William Wilkins. 

James Taylor. 

Hester Taylor. 
Recorded Jan. 20, 1743-4. 

Thomas Heyward (No. 6), grandson of Daniel, lias the tra- 
dition attached to his career " that he was drafted to fight 
the Indians during the Yemassee uprising in 1715, and that 
his mother petitioned the Governor for his i-elease, as he was 
an only son and orphan just sixteen years old." The first 
public record, however, will be found in Vol. 1717-1719, p. 
280, at Columbia, S. C, when he applies for prize money as 
one of the volunteer crew of the sloop Revenge, Capt. John 
Masters, forming one of the fleet which, under command of 
Governor Johnson, captured the ])irate Richard Worley, who, 
with the notorious Stede Bonnet and others, had for some 
time been harassing the commerce along the Carolina coast. 

The next record occurs March 25, 1724, p. 74, Vol. 7 of 
Journal of Commons (Assembly of Carolina), when tlie 



18 



Generation III. 



cliurch wardens of St. Andrew's Parish (wlio in that day 
were supervisors of election) returned William Cattle, Henry 
Toomer, and Thomas Heyward as elected members of the 
Assembly, which Assembly continued until January 31, 1727. 

The next record occurs in the Journals of Council (Upper 
House) April 10, 1725, where the commissioners are directed 
to be " forthwith prepared for Mr. Thomas Heyward to be 
captain of James Island Company." 

Further indentification of Thomas Heyward (No. 6) will 
be found in Vol. H, p. 20, at Charleston, where a deed, dated 
March 12, 1728-1729, conveying aforesaid lot No. 26 by 
Thomas Heyward and Hester, his wife, to John Raven, re- 
citing: '' Whereas Thomas Heyward, by his last will, dated 
September 8, 1699, etc., to Margaret, his lawful wife; and 
whereas said Margaret Heyward, now deceased, did by deed, 
November 18, 1700, grant to said Thomas Heyward, her son, 
by Thomas Heyward, deceased, etc., said Thomas Heyward 
and Hester, his wife, etc., to John Eaven, etc. Proved before 
Judge Wright, March 20, 1728." 

Again, an Act in 17o4, etc., for that part of St. Andrew's 
Parish called James Island, Capt. Thomas Heyward and Will- 
iam Scriven were a|)pointed Inquirers of Collectors of Taxes. 
Vide Statutes at Large, Vol. 3, p. 353. 

Again, an Act in 1734 for the better regulating the i)atrol 
system resulted in the election of Thomas Heyward as caj^tain. 
Vide Statutes at Large, Vol. 3, p. 395. 

It is i^robable that Capt. Thomas Heyward was the first of 
his family in Carolina who lived outside of Charles Town. A 
second tradition attached to him is that he received large 



19 



Generation III. 



grants of laud in Granville County, or Indian land, as it 
was then called, in reward for his services during several In- 
dian uprisings. 

Now then, nothing that the puhlic records show of the life 
of Capt. Thomas Heyward confirms either that he ever did 
much service as an Indian fighter, or, indeed, that there was 
much Indian fighting going on during his life, nor is there 
any record that he ever commanded (as tradition has it) at 
Fort Johnson; but he is referred to in a receipt hy the captain 
of Fort Johnson when he, Thomas Heyward, was a member 
of the Assembly. As to the land grants, the tradition is not 
substantiated either in his own will or in that of his eldest 
son. Col. Daniel Heyward, who bequeathed some twenty-five 
thousand acres of land to his various descendants, but in de- 
scribing each tract Col. Daniel Heyward distinctly traces the 
title either by grant to himself or to some other party from 
w4iom he bought tlie land. 

Five of the sons of Capt. Thomas Heyward lived and be- 
came very prosperous men, but this seems to have been due 
to their own enterprise and industry, rather than inheritance. 

Capt. Thomas Heyward, however, was a well-to-do citizen 
for his day, as, besides liis ])lantations and slaves on James 
Island, his advertisements in the South Carolina Gazette show 
that he owned considerable real estate in Charles Town. 

As to his place of burial, many old family records state that 
he, his wife Hester, and all of tlieir children who died young, 
as well as the first and second wives of their second son, 
Thomas, and each of their respective children who died young, 
were buried at the old homestead on James Island. 



20 



Generation III. 



Exactly where this homestead was is not certain. Some 
family records state that it is the place known as ' ' Cuthbert, ' ' 
near Dill's Bluff, on New Town Creek, just across the river 
in front of South Battery in Charleston. 

Whilst an old military map made about 1780 marks said lo- 
cation as land of " Heyward," and whilst it certainly became 
the home of Gen. John Alexander Cutlibert, wlio married 
Mary du Pre (No. 35), it is nmcli more apt to have been land 
obtained by Thomas Heyward (No. 8), son of Capt. Thomas 
Heyward and father of Mrs. Cutlibert, than the original home 
of Capt. Thomas Heyward himself. The size of the tract 
later on sold by Ann, widow and executrix of James, eldest 
son of General Cutlibert, to the Lawton family, the present 
owners, does not correspond with any description of hmd in 
the will of Capt. Thomas Heyward. 

It is very much more probable that Capt. Thomas Heyward 
lived, died, and lies buried (together with all of the above- 
named members of his family) on lands certainly fixed to have 
been his on that part of James Island bordering on Stono 
River described in an "Act for the establishment of ferries, 
one over Stono River from Colonel Hext's plantation to Mr. 
Thomas Heyward 's plantation on James Island." Vide 
Grimke's Laws, x>- 137.

ARMS. 



In close succession will be found a copy each of the Memo- 
rial, which explains itself; of the Warrant; and of the Patent, 
dated December 1, 1768, issued to the family of Heyward, of 
South Carolina, the same being one of the very few ever is- 
sued directly to a Colonial family. The Arms in use in Amer- 
ica srenerallv being taken from those used in the mother 
countries by such families as the American families claim to 
be affiliated. 

The Patent of the Heyward Arms is in perfect preservation, 
now in the custody of C*ol. W. Izard Heyward, of Marietta, 
Ga., and bears all the evidence of authenticity by the seal at- 
tached and the indorsements of record. 

Strange though it be, a discrepancy exists between the Pat- 
ent and the record thereof at the College of Arms in London. 
In the Patent the weaium foi-ming ])nrt of the Crest is de- 



2.3 



ARMS. 



scribed as a " tomahawk," and is depicted with blade down, 
as it would be held when about to be thrown by an Indian; 
but the record at the College of Arms depicts the weapon 
blade up, as a " battle axe " is held. 

This confusion is only explicable by the fact that the old 
watch mentioned in the Will of Capt. Thomas Heyward, No. 
6 of this record, which is still in existence, has engraved 
thereon a " battle axe." 

Now if, as it is probable, the watch was taken to London 
in substantiation of the claim that the family in Carolina had 
" long used Arms," then it is possible that the recording- 
clerk copied the Crest from the watch, negligent of the desired 
change from a " battle axe " to a " tomahawk," illustrative 
of Colonial life. 

However this may be, the fact remains that those members 
of the family who own seals or silver, with the Crest engraved 
thereon, in London (reference probably being had to the rec- 
ord), have the Arm with '' battle axe, blade up;" whilst those 
who have had the opportunity to copy the Patent itself in 
Carolina have the Arm with " tomahawk, blade down;" and 
some have both styles. 

Queer to tell, the seal used by Thomas Heyward, Junior, No. 
14 of this record (who, whilst taking his law course in Lon- 
don, presented the Memorial in behalf of his father, Daniel 
Heyward, to whom the Warrant directs the Patent to be is- 
sued), has the Crest with a '' tomahawk, blade down," as is 
to be seen in documents to which he himself affixed his seal; 
yet the seals used by the descendants of said Thomas Hey- 
ward, Junior, have thereon a " battle axe, blade up," as it 
is on the old watch left by his grandfather, Capt. Thomas Hey- 
ward.

From tliis point the effort will be limited to simply indicat- 
ing how the various living descendants can learn their own 
respective consanguinity or trace their lineage from any one 
of the foregoing great groups — viz.: The elder line of Col. 
Daniel Heyward (No. 7) through Miles, or the elder line 
through Gignilliat; also the younger line of Thomas Heyward 
(No. 8) through Miles or the younger line through Gignilliat.

IN FINIS. 

The history of the family of Heyward, of Carolina, de- 
cisively classifies them as '* country folk." Whilst during 
the first seven generations in Carolina each family owned a 
house in some city or town, they regarded such simply as 
places of resort, for as soon as cool weather permitted they 
'^ hied home." 

Great success has attended the efforts of many of the name 
in agriculture, whilst only a few ever attained any prominence 
in law, medicine, or politics, and none in trade. 

With a limited number noted for their beauty, the women 
of the name reached super-excellence in modesty and chastity, 
each and every one making happy homes; whilst the wives of 
the men found each a partner ' ' who loved no music so well as 
his kitchen clock, and the airs which the logs sung to him as 
they burned on the hearth." 

Twenty of the name served South Carolina in the Confed- 
erate War, and the loss to the familv bv the result was over 
four thousand slaves.
